Legal System Governing Organizations Providing Health Insurance Services

Health is one of the most basic needs of all human beings. The main function of the health system of any country is to provide services in this field. The purpose of this research is to find out how services are provided by which institution and according to what principles. After the victory of the Islamic Revolution, the expansion of social security became a public right in Article 29 of the Constitution, relying on the enjoyment of social security benefits by all people. Accordingly, the main institutions, organizations, institutes and funds in the areas of insurance, protection and relief of this system are obliged to carry out their executive affairs and tenure in the field of production and provision of services and related legal obligations in accordance with contracts proposed by the Ministry of Cooperatives. Social welfare and the approval of the High Council of Welfare and Social Security will be determined to be delegated to brokerage firms. In the Iranian legal system, various institutions are responsible for providing health services to different segments of society, but the main institutions providing insurance services are the Health Insurance Organization of Iran and the Social Security Organization. Each of these organizations, according to their duties and responsibilities, provide health services in the community.
